Kiki Roeder Daza is a creative executive, producer, and screenwriter dedicated to future-minded storytelling. As the leader of Punctuate Studio, she works at the intersection of entertainment, innovation, and education, contributing to projects at Netflix, Warner Bros., Disney, Cartoon Network, Hi-Rez Studios, and more.


Punctuate empowers film and television professionals to navigate rapid industry transformation. The team specializes in creative resilience frameworks and guiding the ethical adoption of emerging entertainment technologies, including AI, XR, virtual production, and interactive storytelling.


Prior to film producing, Daza successfully built and exited two companies – an award-winning digital strategy studio and an edtech media platform.


Her film and television projects often feature resilient misfits within the genres of thriller, black comedy, and historical drama. She recently launched Midpoint, an initiative which produces and funds proof-of-talent projects envisioned by mid-career professionals seeking to transition into the entertainment industry.


Daza is a member of nearly a dozen film organizations and guilds. This includes the short film selection committee of the Atlanta Film Festival, one of the few festivals qualified in all three short film categories eligible for the Academy Awards.


She is an enthusiastic Sundance Collab Advisor and Community Leader. She hosts several Sundance events – the Writers Café, Script Club, and Collab Community Challenge – and advises on education and technology trends shaping the future of independent storytelling.
